THE RADIO EXHIBITIONS.

WE are happy to announce that the radio exhibition proposed to be ' held in the Wellington Town Hall at the end of July will take place. The Wellington traders, at a full and representative meeting, decided to accord their support and heartily co-operate with the idea. (The Wellington Amateur Radio Society, in its turn, is taking advantage of the opportunity presented to father certain competitions calculated to interest constructors. The, full details of those competitions are announced in another column. We are glad that this support has been forthcoming; and feel sure that the exhibition will be a big success. In their respective spheres the Radio Broadcasting Company and’ the Post and Telegraph Department will co-operate with the exhibition, and give in the one case special programmes and expanded setvice, and in the other, will provide a special stall of interest to the public and those technically minded. [Tis our hope that the holding of this exhibition will prove a mile"stone in radio history, and that it will mark the beginning of a forwatd, drive in regard to the number of listeners’ No section stands to benefit so much in the final upshot as listeners themselves. They are. primarily concerned with greater service in quantity and quality. That greater service can be given only as revenue expands, for it is dn axiom of any business that it must be self-supporting. Judging by ‘the enthusiasm evoked in Auckland, and our correspondent’s comments that the figure of 50,000 provisionally suggested last week is too: low, it seems likely that our expectations will be exceeded and a substantial figure set this winter and up to Christmas. [N..Dunedin, too, a radio exhibition is to be held, and congratulations "* must be extended to those in that city who are responsible for its-organisation. We feel sure that the radio family will be considerably enlarged in that centre and its district, and thus place it more on a parity with other parts of the Dominion.
